John Faa Quotes in The Golden Compass (2007)

Farder Coram: It's an alethiometer. It's a truth measure - a golden compass. It enables you to see what others wish to hide... You can ask any sort of question you can imagine. Once you've got your question framed...

Lyra Belacqua: Can I try?

John Faa: [chuckles]

Farder Coram: One thing I do know, Lyra, you mustn't grasp at the answer. Hold the question in your mind, but lightly, like it was something alive.

Iorek Byrnison: Samoyed lands.

Lee Scoresby: Samoyeds don't take kindly to trespassers.

Iorek Byrnison: It's the only way to reach Bolvangar.

[to everyone]

Iorek Byrnison: Stay close to me.

John Faa: [to Lyra] Come, child.

Iorek Byrnison: It'll be dark soon.
